Woman Distracted by Texting Drives Her Car Into a Lake

[Uncle Joe]

99. Good for you if don't live near water, cross bridges over water or experience flash flooding but

many people do and your argument of "un-attentive other" drivers can just be another cause of sending even an attentive driver in to the water.

When the Minnesota Bridge collapsed over a 150 cars and trucks plunged into the water, fortunately for them at the time the drought had cause the Mississippi River to be abnormally low so only 6 people (last time I checked) drowned although I'm sure that's no consolation to the family and friends of those six victims.

There were also plenty of rescuers on the spot during that bridge collapse.

I don't have anything against more driver education and awareness but sometimes that doesn't make a difference.

In a few years I believe Nissan is coming out with a car that will practically drive itself but no doubt there will still be problems after that either either due to bad programming or to external extenuating circumstances having nothing to due with that car's performance.

You keep personalizing this, "it's not just me" that I'm concerned about tens of millions of Americans driver near or over major bodies of water and in a sinking car, seconds count

Putting manual override on electric windows is just a common sense solution.
